About this listen
Eisner award-winning author David F. Walker explodes onto the YA literary scene with a remarkable story about justice, second chances, and all the ways we can make our own world in the image of our dreams.
Darius Logan is far from a hero. Since his parents were killed, he has spent most of his life navigating foster homes and shelters, abandoned neighborhoods, and decaying buildings. All Darius knows is survival. Life was hard enough, but now he finds himself being hunted by the police after a drug deal he never should have been involved in goes bad. And when they catch him, Darius is positive he will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
But in place of a long prison sentence, Darius is handed an opportunity almost too good to be true: the chance to get away from his circumstances by joining the Second Chance program of the Super Justice Force, a league of people with special powers who strive to do good and protect the world from harm. Darius soon discovers a strength he never knew he possessed, but evil forces manifest and threaten to destroy everything he holds dear. Will Darius be able to save the world when he faces a deadly--and all too familiar--enemy?
This incredibly powerful YA debut by Eisner award-winning author David F. Walker dives into matters of social justice and identity, courage and second chances, in a world where heroes loom large and what seems ordinary is anything but.

The unique protagonist
It’s rare we get a book in the YA space with a young black male main character who grows so exponentially from the beginning of the story until the end. Great pacing,action and supporting characters

The Y.A. book I wish I had when growing up!
Darius is a relatable and loveable character that makes you root for him at every turn. David F. Walker did a masterful job building this universe with great attention to detail. Phil LaMarr continues to show why he is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, voice actor of our time. LaMarr really helped bring each character to life and gave Darius the perfect voice.
